O perfect Love, all human thought transcending

Author: Dorothy F. Blomfield Hymnal: HRGC1892 #238 (1894) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics: 1 O perfect Love, all human thought transcending, Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne, That theirs may be the love that knows no ending, Whom Thou forevermore dost join in one. 2 O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance Of tender charity and steadfast faith, Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance, With childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death. 3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow; Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife, And to life's day the glorious unknown morrow That dawns upon eternal love and life. Amen. Topics: Holy Matrimony Languages: English Tune Title: [O perfect Love, all human thought transcending]

To Thee, O Father throned on high

Author: Bp. Wm. Croswell Doane Hymnal: HRGC1892 #239 (1894) Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O Father throned on high, Our marriage hymn we duly sing; Knit Thou the sacred bond we tie, And do Thou bless the wedding ring. Thy love, at first in Paradise, It was that made of one flesh twain; Work Thou, while here our prayers arise, That sacred mystery again. 2 To Thee, O Jesus, throned beside Thy Father's right hand, here we cry; True Bridegroom of Thy spotless Bride, With all Thy human love, draw nigh. Our human nature, Thy divine Has wedded, and in Thee, dear Lord, As Cana's water turned to wine, Its lost godlikeness is restored. 3 O Holy Ghost the Paraclete, Thee too we worship, God and Lord, And honor Thee, with praises meet, One with the Father and the Word. Lord and Life-giver, hear our prayer, Come, sanctify, and bless, and guide, Strengthen, and shelter 'neath Thy care, The life of bridegroom and of bride. 4 O God Triune, Whom heaven's host Adores, with sweet and ceaseless song; O Father, Son and Holy Ghost, To Whom all worship doth belong; Hear, in these echoes faint and dim Of chant and prayer and holy psalm, Their songs, the heavenly feast who hymn, The marriage supper of the Lamb.

The voice that breathed o'er Eden

Author: Rev. John Keble Hymnal: HRGC1892 #240a (1894) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 The voice that breathed o'er Eden, That earliest wedding day, The primal marriage blessing, It hath not passed away. 2 Still in the pure espousal Of Christian man and maid, The holy Three are with us, The threefold grace is said. 3 Be present, awful Father, To give away this bride, As Eve thou gav'st to Adam Out of his own pierced side: 4 Be present, Son of Mary, To join their loving hands, As thou didst bind two natures In thine eternal bands! 5 Be present, holiest Spirit, To bless them as they kneel, As thou, for Christ the Bridegroom, The heavenly Spouse dost seal! 6 Oh, spread Thy pure wing o'er them, Let no ill power find place, When onward to Thine altar Their hallowed path they trace, 7 To cast their crowns before Thee In perfect sacrifice, Till to the home of gladness With Christ's own Bride they rise. Amen. Topics: Holy Matrimony Languages: English Tune Title: [The voice that breathed o'er Eden]

Wesley Hymnal: HRGC1892 #241 (1894) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Blessing, honor, thanks and praise, Pay we, gracious God, to Thee: Thou in Thine abundant grace Givest us the victory. True and faithful to Thy word, Thou hast glorified Thy Son: Jesus Christ, our dying Lord, Has for us the vict'ry won. 2 Happy are the faithful dead, Blèssed who in Jesus die; They from all their toils are freed, In God's keeping safely lie. These the Spirit hath declared Blest, unutterably blest, Jesus is their great reward, Jesus is their endless rest. 3 Absent from our loving Lord We shall not continue long; Join we then with one accord In the new, the joyful song; Blessing, honor, thanks and praise, Triune God, we pray to Thee, Who in Thine abundant grace Givest us the victory!

Author: Rev. J. Ellerton Hymnal: HRGC1892 #242 (1894) Meter: 7.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now the laborer's task is o'er; Now the battle day is past; Now upon the farther shore Lands the voyager at last. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. 2 There the tears of earth are dried; There its hidden things are clear; There the work of life is tried By a juster Judge than here. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. 3 There the penitents, that turn To the cross their dying eyes, All the love of Jesus learn At His feet in Paradise. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now thy servant sleeping. 4 There no more the powers of hell Can prevail to mar their peace; Christ the Lord shall guard them well, He Who died for their release. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. 5 "Earth to earth, and dust to dust," Calmly now the words we say; Left behind, we wait in trust For the resurrection-day. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. Amen. Topics: Burial of the Dead Languages: English Tune Title: [Now the laborer's task is o'er]

On the resurrection morning

Author: Rev. S. Baring-Gould Hymnal: HRGC1892 #243a (1894) Meter: 8.7.8.3 Lyrics: 1 On the resurrection morning Soul and body meet again; No more sorrow, no more weeping, No more pain. 2 Here awhile they must be parted, And the flesh its sabbath keep, Waiting in a holy stillness, Wrapt in sleep. 3 For a space that tired body Lies with feet toward the dawn; Till there breaks the last and brightest Easter morn. 4 But the soul in contemplation Utters earnest prayers and strong; Breaking at the resurrection Into song. 5 Soul and body reunited, Thenceforth nothing will divide, Waking up in Christ's own likeness, Satisfied. 6 Oh, the beauty, oh, the gladness Of that resurrection-day! Which shall not through endless ages, Pass away! 7 On that happy Easter morning All the graves their dead restore, Father, sister, child and mother, Meet once more. 8 To that brightest of all meetings, Bring us, Jesus Christ, at last; To Thy cross, through death and judgment, Holding fast.
